Shreyas Iyer out of IPL 2023 and WTC Final - Reports

Shreyas Iyer picked up a back injury during the Nagpur Test against Australia in February. He was ruled out of the match midway and did not bat in the match. He subsequently missed the ODI series against Australia.

Initially, it was expected that the star batter would miss the first half of IPL 2023 and be back sometime at the back end of the season.

However, according to the latest report on ESPNcricinfo, Shreyas has decided to undergo surgery. It might effectively rule him out of the entire duration of IPL 2023 and the WTC final in June.

On the "AakashVani" show on JioCinema, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra recently analyzed the impact of Shreyas in the KKR squad, saying:

"It is a question that is looming large because he is this team's captain and their life. He has back spasms at the moment. If he has some back issues, the entire team's backbone will become weak."
"They have Iyer, Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh and Mandeep Singh as pure batter options. That's why Shreyas is extremely important not just as a captain but also as a batter."
